Tired of struggling

Recommended Posts

I need advice and help. I am a year out and have lost approx 80 lbs and am healthy and happy. I currently wear a 12 pants and large top. I think I look good but it never was about looks for me. I feel great!!! I would be happy if my journey stopped here but I struggle to keep my head above water everyday. I need advice. How do I make the cravings stop and finally relax and quit being so obsessed?

80 pounds? That is amazing work, and I know it could not have been easy. Give yourself a pat on the back for making it this far. I honestly wish I could tell you the cravings go away, but from what I understand, they don't. But things will get easier! Just remember, you have been reforming your healthy habits for about a year now... And if you are anything like me, I had formed the unhealthy habits over 28+ years, so it is going to take more time to overcome these cravings that we used to give in to for comfort. There was a quote on my baritastic app a few fays ago that I just had to screen shot, because truer words were never spoken - and I really hope it gives you some comfort during this challenging time in your journey.

Thank you SO MUCH!!! That quote helped immensely! I appreciate the encouragement and though I’m not really happy with myself right now this sure put it into perspective for me. Happy New Year!!!

Happy new year to you as well just remember to take things as they come - you got this! And even on the days when you feel like you don't, that's what we are here for. I have a good feeling things are going to work out for you. Please keep in touch! Would love to hear updates from you whenever
